Stuxnet and Flame were cyberattacks aimed at Iran. In the case of Stuxnet, the virus somehow started showing up in China and Japan. Vital controls that should have shut down the Fukishima nuclear complex after the tsumami last year did not perform as designed...aka did not work...making the disaster many times worse. Fukishima is still not contained, and there's not much from the power company or the government as to when, if ever, the site will stop emitting dangerous levels of radioactive particles.

It may seem like a small thing to some folks, or perhaps nothing to worry about, but it seems obvious that whomever is responsible for Stuxnet may also be responsible for a very bad situation in Japan, and possibly a hard time for the entire human race.

I listened to a radio show last week about this. They were saying that Stuxnet is a relatively small file, while flame is much larger, very much more so than a typical virus. They did also say that most recent updates to firewalls protects against both of these now, so update if you need to.
